18 January-2010 2 P.M. Kemah
1 mature female NG. Finally, I was able to sex and age a NG in Kemah area. The accipiter was soaring at about 300 feet elevation. The size, shape, long tail, long wings, wing movement and other factors screamed " Goshawk". The chest and belly was silver-gray- meaning mature. Location: Over the Birding Sanctuary Community of Clear Lake Shore- adjoining Kemah. The NG went to ground or trees. Observation time- 2 minutes. Bright sun-steady wind at 10-15 miles per hour- many clouds.
